For the leader. On stringed instruments. Of David. Hear my cry, O God, be attentive to my prayer.
From the ends of the earth I call
unto you, when my heart is faint:
lead me to the rock
that is high above me.
For you are a refuge to me,
a strong tower in face of the foe.
O to be guest in your tent forever,
hiding beneath your sheltering wings! Selah
For you, O God, do hear my vows,
and grant the desires of those who revere you.
Add many days to the life of the king;
may his years endure throughout all generations.
In the presence of God be he throned forever;
may kindness and faithfulness watch over him.
And I will sing praise to your name forever,
paying my vows day after day.
